Joe Turkel, the actor who played Lloyd the bartender passed away on June 27th. Best damned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon for that matter.
This is completely untrue, The Shining was filmed entirely in the studio at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, England. Kubrick lived in England by the way and never left. Only the helicopter shots were filmed with a second unit. It was a massive set with built in lights. That is how he was able to shoot in continuity over a few years.
I saw your post on Twitter. Thanks. Shooting took about a year, plus another year for editing. You may have seen Gordon Stainforth's comments on Twitter. He was the assistant editor on the film. His word to describe this video was "bollocks," though he was being polite about it. Kubrick dispatched many photographers to get shots of hotel interiors, including lobbies, rooms and the like, but then Roy Walker took those photos and designed a hotel and Gold Room that satisfied Kubrick's needs. Nothing, other than the second unit exteriors, was shot outside of the UK.
I don't believe they shot anything away from Elstree Studios in England. Mainly because Kubrick never left England. He sent a second unit to get the shots of the opening titles in Montana and exterior shots of the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. After meeting Joe Turkel (Lloyd the bartender) at an autograph show called the Hollywood Show, I ran into him taking a morning walk on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica! And he invited me to lunch the next day at his favorite deli. Such a great time talking about Kubrick (he'd been in three of his films) and others (The Sand Pebbles). I got to see Buck Privates, the Abbott & Costello comedy, in that theater as part of the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival a few years back. Awesome sound and picture.
I'm a member there at the American Legion Post 43. It's a gorgeous building with so much history. Glad you got to check it out and document it! 👍🏻😃 Keep up the good work!
You're amazing, Grimm! THE SHINING is one of my fave, classic horror films. I can't say that I'm obsessed but I do periodically enjoy rewatching the movie from time to time. Like so many thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of fans, there was something about the 'feel', energy, vibes, emotions, et al, of the movie that connected the viewer to it on a subliminal or subconscious emotional psychological level that remains after so many years. The Shining persuaded me that Colorado, next to Washington State, would be one of my choices to find a job and settle down in after college. But it never happened. I ended up in the same state as you, not for the glitz and glamour, but because the long-standing good job market. I think you're the only one to take us to all the locations that provided Kubrick with his studio sets inspirations. We of course know that he didn't actually film at these locations but rather at faux representations of them back in the main studio just outside of London. Still it's incredible to look at first hand these locations like the Timberline Lodge and now the bar of the Overlook Hotel's Gold Room featured in the movie. Thanks so much, brother, for your time, efforts, and energy in showing the public where it all began with The Shining. Your entertainment value cannot be overestimated. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Give my regards to your partner, Jessica.
I just wanted to say this last November I got to spend the whole week of the 24th for my 48th birthday at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park it was so cool
I live an hour away from the Stanley hotel where Steven king got inspiration for the shining, This shining Steven king didn't like how it came out so he did the TV mini series in Colorado at the Stanley hotel
All shot at Ellstree studios in north London. In fact you can now park your car in the spot where they shot this, as half the studio was turned into a supermarket and car park. That carpark is also the square footage of the 3 Indiana Jones films interiors, and some exterior set pieces, and almost all interior star wars moments (original trilogy)
@@Franmc4 Cool. I visited the site some years ago. The supermarket (Tescos) at that time had lots of photos on the walls showing filming production. I think MGM is / was, just up the road aswell.
The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite is the inspiration for the interior of the shining hotel . Looks exactly the same til this day. Definitely should check it out.
When go to old building and look it and then looks so shinning and see furniture lights and candles and pictures been there for long time just like screen
I lived in Hollywood many years not knowing about this! Beautiful interiors! Love old Hollywood so much. The outside looks familiar though. I am so jealous of you 2! I want to see that before I die for sure! It is pretty amazing how much Stanley was able to film something set in the US, with such grand beautiful sets, and yet he never had to step out of his neighborhood in England. I heard he could actually walk to work everyday! The cast members had to do all the traveling!
We recommend reading the book if you haven’t yet. We are American Legion members and Roni belongs to this post. We are like giddy teens whenever we’re at American Legion Post 43. THIS is a marvelous video. Epic content.✨
It's entirely plausible that the Gold Room bar in the film was modeled after the one at this Los Angeles location, but it is implausible - and a little silly, in fact - to suggest that the two scenes between Nicholson and Joe Turkel, and the scenes with Nicholson, Turkel, and Phillip Stone were filmed wholly or in part outside of the Elstree Studios in England. Documentary proof including footage and photos from the set confirm this. Just because you read undocumented speculation on IMDB does not make it true. There were some exterior pick-up shots and other addl photography used in the film but not for the Gold Room scenes. This is very very silly.
You guys are amazing! I had the pleasure of meeting actor Joe Turkel aka Lloyd the bartender years ago at a Chiller Convention in New Jersey with my wife. He couldn't have been nicer, and I asked him what it was like working with Jack, and he replied, He is a jokester on set and tries to make everyone relax before the scene is shot. He also told me that Stanley Kubrick started his career as a cinematographer, so now I can see why all of his films look great down to the precise detail.
I enjoy this movie on hot summer days in Texas. All that snow & the cool mystery. Kubrick is a legend. Bryan DelPalma is also a spooky director. Check out his stuff.
Oh my gosh I have a fascination for The Shining too. You guys are amazing! love all the places you two go and take us along. Thank you so much!!! Your channel is a Blessing for me as I have ptsd, severe anxiety and depression. As soon as I start to feel icky or feel a trigger I go to your video's to go to another place and I feel calm. ❤❤❤
Thank you for fascinating channel , you guys are professional and your love for all things Grimm is so real. Love love this channel. This place is simply stunning
I can remember when the shining came out, I remember when the trailer for it came on advertising the movie I was a small kid and my big brother used to come running in pointing out the go-cart saying that's what you're getting for your Christmas..... Lol... That little kid always freaked me out along with the young girls the twins... 😱
I live in Borehamwood where Elstree Studios are, we are very proud of the towns connection to The Shining, Kubrick also filmed A Clockwork Orange in the town.
The bar was part of The Goldroom and was built on Stage 5 of Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, London. The Boulder set was also built on Stage 5. The Red Bathroom was not part of the Goldroom. Only the hall was visible with the red tapestry.
BUT this place may have inspired the design of the sets by the set designers, similar to the way the inside of the Overlook was based on the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. I remember watching the very scary theatrical trailer in an actual movie theater, mind you, (I had already read the book) the one that shows the elevator doors opening, and my best friend and I both thought "wow! It looks like the Ahwahnee Hotel" which we had just both visited on a youthful drive to Yosemite as teenagers. I was delighted to find out, decades later, that Kubrick's ideas were based on places we already liked and had seen. If you ever get a chance, visit the Ahwahnee in Yosemite National Park. BUT stay at Curry Village, it's much much more fun. AND much cheaper, although after Biden and Gavin Newsom, the prices have probably ascended to over $150/night for a tent, two beds, a dresser, no door locks, and squirrels and bears hanging around....
This film and Amytyville Horror were first scary films i saw as kid. I used to scare my sister doing the "hi my name is Tony"bit that Daniel does in movie lol..great job guys!
I was in Jr. High-school when I've seen this on the big screen. It was a erie feeling at that bar but now finding out it was not filmed at the Overlook Hotel surprised me..
I love the Shining. Whenever I get a snow day I watch either The Shining or John Carpenter’s The Thing. Lol. But when I was just a wee lad the tv trailer for the shining would air just before bed time and I’d go to bed terrified. Lmao 😂 good times.
Enough people have been posting responses to sufficiently debunk your "findings" in this video, so I won't say much more than I haven't already said in response to those good folks. The only thing I know about any performances in this place was sometime in the 1980s. A group of people put on a play in the armory. It was called "Tamara," and the authors were inspired by Bertolucci's "1900" to write the play and set it in the hall, since it had a "built in" setting that was perfect for their needs. However, I would have thought "The Conformist" would have been a better choice, given its Art Deco art direction. The play was one of those where the characters went from room to room and back. That meant the audience followed them around. I did not see the play, but I had read about its performance elsewhere, including The L.A. Weekly, which seemed to think this play was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It was apparently a hit with the gay community, though I cannot remember how long it ran. The "logo" was a Hirschfield-like drawing of a woman's face, wearing a 1930s style hat, a fur collar, a cigarette in a cigarette holder in her hand, maintaining a "mysterious" appearance. It was on display in front of the hall for a long time. I saw the sign a lot when driving past the place. There is no logic to having Kubrick, Nicholson, Turkell, et al., to fly to L.A., only to grab just two shots. The expense would have been more than the cost to simply redress the existing set at Elstree Studios, if that were even necessary. Kubrick had a video tap attached to his camera. If he had seen a problem in the playback, or when viewing the footage the next day, he would have re-shot everything right there on Stage 5. Where did you get this information? Or, to put it another way, do you know who started this rumor? There have been numerous rumors about Kubrick made over the years, and some have become urban legends. You are, so far, the only person I know of who audaciously made a video about such a rumor and is now passing it off as fact. The comments from people below who believe this is astonishing, and not in a good way.
Probably my favorite movie. We were at the Stanley in Colorado a few years ago and I loved the whole experience. Always good stuff from you guys. Great filming location vid. You did the Timberline, now the Stanley for the background? Keep up the great work.
On a previous video Jessica mentioned how she knows the histories you're about to discuss and you intrigue her with your voice. your channel is extremely intriguing, but it's your voice that draws us in. Michael, know that your voice is a great voice for narration. There's something about how you narrate your videos that intrigues your fans. Like always thank you for a awesome video keep up the great work , you and Baby Ghoul are amazing in ALL that you both do , that's why you have so much followers. Love you both.
I really freaking love you guys! Im new to the channel but ever since I watched one video of y’all I have benching them. You guys have seen and done things some of us only dream we could do. Thank you for sharing all this with us!! 😄
I probably said before in some other video but I must say again, I don't watch all of your stuff because obviously not all of it interest me, but when I do, its just awesome, you guys are great!
Stanley Kubrick was a very talented photographer prior to becoming a film maker. It definetely shows in his body of work.....very detailed, yet simple shots. This was a GREAT VIDEO !! Happy Halloween to you and Jessica !!
The video is in error. None of The Shining was filmed in LA. All the Gold Room scenes were shot at Elstree studios in the UK. This video is 100% in error.
Wow that looks amazing. Love the film, even though it changed some aspects from the book. I went to the original haunted hotel that inspired King, The Stanley Hotel in Estes park Colorado. I went with my high school theater arts class for a national event. 3 friends and I were put in the same room King was in. We had many strange experiences that we still can not understand or figure out. Hearing kids running in the halls when there were no kids were there, shadows moving around with no body to make them, hearing voices where no one else was, even a table raising and slamming down when no one was sitting at it. It was also winter and we were the only guests there, 15 people in all. I highly suggest y'all go there and see what happens.
That is where the Estes method was first originated. Have you watched Sam and Colby and Mackie & Amanda TH-cam videos? Did you have the Rempod & music box?
We Don't mess with me I have there kids and there is nothing you do about it loser and a super freak and milk shakes peanut and cookies and cream and other. Fast food and dancing party with my boys I got engaged and a diamond ring 💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍 from. My boys
I have watched the movie a few times and I never noticed the ice. I'm going to have to start really paying attention! As usual you and Jessica did it again. Thx!
No offense intended, but with all that's been documented over the decades since the film's release, there's no mention by anyone of Kubrick assembling a film crew and flying off with them and Jack Nicholson to Los Angeles. Kubrick left the security of his home and family in England, the huge set he had meticulously built, flies across the world to California - and not a single person noticed or or has ever mentioned it? Sure thing. You bet. It's goofy internet myth/speculation unsupported by any documentation - therefore, it *must* be true! 🧐
This makes zero sense. What is the basis of this idea? Have you been given some evidence of this? Please explain why you think that pick up shots were done here? I’d love to be proved wrong.
Joe Turkel, the actor who played Lloyd the bartender passed away on June 27th.

You are incorrect. This interpretation is accurate.
@@tod3msn You know nothing
WRONG! Outside EXTERIOR shots were of an ACTUAL HOTEL in Mt. Hood, Oregon (with exception to the maze). The REST OF IT, was filmed on a soundstage.
I don't leave many comments for people but wanted to thank you for the work you guys put in and for bringing us along for all these amazing rides.
They are awesome, aren't they!!! 🖤💜💚
Couldn't agree more..
👍👍👍
Everything in this video is in error. Nothing from The Shining was filmed here.
So you want to thanks a guy for making absolut zero research before this video??

My favorite scene of the movie. Awesome, the interaction between Jack and Lloyd, the bartender ghost.!!!

Is it open to the public? Or is it members only to see it?
I've seen this movie dozens of times, but never realized that background was faked! Thanks for an awesome video!
This is not true. It is fake.
well it was all a set in england.
You must be an extremely gullible person. Simple research will show that this was not the case.
The line to Jack Nicholson was brilliant, “But you’ve always been the caretaker sir.” Timeless.

Another great video. Thanks Both.
Yessss!!! Be checking this out later tonight!!!🎃🎃keepitGrimm🎃🎃
I live not to far from Boulder, and the location of the establishing shot for the Torrence's Boulder apartment.
I probably said before in some other video but I must say again, I don't watch all of your stuff because obviously not all of it interest me, but when I do, its just awesome, you guys are great!
The history of this place is unreal. Absolutely phenomenal!!!
What's unreal is this video. None of The Shining was shot here.
LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!
Great content. You are awesome
I have been to the Overlook facade up in the Oregon hotel at the base of the Mountain
Stanley Kubrick was a very talented photographer prior to becoming a film maker. It definetely shows in his body of work.....very detailed, yet simple shots. This was a GREAT VIDEO !! Happy Halloween to you and Jessica !!
The video is in error. None of The Shining was filmed in LA. All the Gold Room scenes were shot at Elstree studios in the UK. This video is 100% in error.
I love "The Shining". I love that you are showing its locations.
They aren't. None of The Shining was shot here
@@spacemanski Yes I know, however, they did go to a hotel early where part of The Shining was filmed.
What a gorgeous building
This building certainly has a rich tradition. George C Scott s speech at the beginning of Patton was filmed there as well
Wow that looks amazing. Love the film, even though it changed some aspects from the book. I went to the original haunted hotel that inspired King, The Stanley Hotel in Estes park Colorado. I went with my high school theater arts class for a national event. 3 friends and I were put in the same room King was in. We had many strange experiences that we still can not understand or figure out. Hearing kids running in the halls when there were no kids were there, shadows moving around with no body to make them, hearing voices where no one else was, even a table raising and slamming down when no one was sitting at it. It was also winter and we were the only guests there, 15 people in all. I highly suggest y'all go there and see what happens.
That is where the Estes method was first originated. Have you watched Sam and Colby and Mackie & Amanda TH-cam videos? Did you have the Rempod & music box?
We Don't mess with me I have there kids and there is nothing you do about it loser and a super freak and milk shakes peanut and cookies and cream and other. Fast food and dancing party with my boys I got engaged and a diamond ring 💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍 from. My boys
AWESOME
I grew up driving past this place and never saw the inside. Very cool!
I have watched the movie a few times and I never noticed the ice. I'm going to have to start really paying attention! As usual you and Jessica did it again. Thx!
A very relatable movie that came out the year of my birth, love the bonafide sequel as well. 🎃👍
RIP. He was great in that role! Wish he had more scenes!
What amazing content. Much gratitude for this channel...and keep on shining on!
THANKS ,, VERY COOOL...
No offense intended, but with all that's been documented over the decades since the film's release, there's no mention by anyone of Kubrick assembling a film crew and flying off with them and Jack Nicholson to Los Angeles.
Kubrick left the security of his home and family in England, the huge set he had meticulously built, flies across the world to California - and not a single person noticed or or has ever mentioned it? Sure thing. You bet.
It's goofy internet myth/speculation unsupported by any documentation - therefore, it *must* be true! 🧐
because it never happened.
He didn't fly, he would have gone by ship, so it's even less likely.@@spacemanski
This makes zero sense. What is the basis of this idea? Have you been given some evidence of this? Please explain why you think that pick up shots were done here? I’d love to be proved wrong.
Lee Unkrich posted a comment above debunking this nonsense. SK did not shoot any of The Shining in LA
That auditorium is great----------------------------
Awesome thumbnail!! Love the Shining, AND Jack..in fact, I just like quality horror..so I can't wait to see this video!
I liked Lloyd - he was a gentleman.
